The Irishman's Wall Circle is on the moor near Irishman's Wall above Belstone (SX 6179 9193, taken from the Megalithic Portal to 10 metres). Alan Endacott and his volunteers identified it in 2011 with resistivity and magnetic gradiometry surveys, and it was excavated in 2024.
Six stones are visible, with more indicated beneath disturbed ground. The Megalithic Portal calls it the remnants of a cairn circle rather than a true stone circle. Nothing found says whether it is scheduled or when it was built.
Dartefacts is a database of Dartmoor sites with far more close-up detail than we can show here, and it is the best place to go deeper. Dartefacts is free to use, and nobody has to pay to look things up. If you want more, a yearly subscription adds 10-figure grid references, map zoom down to 1:25,000 and lists to tick off the places you have visited, and it helps keep the site going. We would encourage you to subscribe.
Our Dartmoor doesn't track you and runs no adverts. We use one cookie to make the
site work, and some pages load videos, maps or optional social media panels from other sites, the panels only if you choose to show them.
